Now that I know about what happened to Melody Gardot, all of her songs sound incredibly poignant...  love this song...

Well, it turns out I've rated this 7 before, and I won't change it.
Beautiful voice but come on, this is just Summertime. And when I want to hear Summertime I look for Sarah Vaughan, not some copy of it.

{#Eek} wow...makes you glad to be alive!  And to have this talent...Yes, one can hear the Davis, Getz, Elingington, and Gershwin.  Beautiful.

I am hoping that Melody's next album sounds more like this rather than her latest effort Absence.  While I do enjoy all of her music, I prefer this style better.

Sorry, but did she nick the beginning of Summertime? {#Think} I love her voice, though.

Offense is found by anyone looking for it.  Sure, some people use the word intending it to be a pejorative term.  Those people are idiots and should be dismissed as such.

To flip the coin, back home "dude" is frequently meant to be an insult.  When used like "Dude, that chick is hot" it has a different meaning than "that guy is such a dude."  When meaning offense, calling someone a dude is saying that a guy is like one of those frat douche bags with the pink polo shirt and the popped collar.  Otherwise, it's simply a way to get someone's attention.

Well, BA, if there's no reason for the word to have negative connatations, since the original word "chick" is not sexual, it follows that you'd have no problem being called a Chick.

"chicks with french names"? — would you care to elaborate your point a little further? Or, is there one?

In this case, I think the proof's in the putting.

This is no chick.  Anyone with that much sultriness is definitely a full-grown woman.  Jessica Rabbit, indeed.

Thank you, Fred - and I agree with your comment regarding the music, too. She has quite the whiskey/honey voice, perfectly suited to torch-songs or Broadway show tunes. I may have to invest in this CD... {#Music}

 
"Chick" comes from "Chica" or "Chiquita" in Spanish. It was never meant as insult but who knows what baggage it carries these days.

Quite. This would fit in nicely on the soundtrack of a film noir. A fine theme tune for a femme fatale. 8 from the Nottingham jury.
